    Reading this thread it seems you're overly fond of the Mako shark, almost to a fault in this debate. I've said it before, intelligence is the ultimate adaptation. Excluding micro-organisms, Orcas will dominate in a tussle with the most powerful marine predators.

    C++ programmers will dismiss you as a cretinous simpleton for your inability to keep track of pointers chained 6 levels deep and Java programmers will pillory you for buying into the evils of Microsoft. Meanwhile C# programmers will get paid just a little bit more than you for writing exactly the same code and VB6 programmers will continue to whitter on about "footprints". - FunkyDexter

    I am not overly fond of Mako sharks at all, in fact after doing this analysis I loathe them and now seek to catch and consume one if at all possible. Unfortunately an intellectual advantage does not by itself make a superior predator and this is apparent in the case of most species of monkeys (including apes) who are regular prey to the tree borne Leopards despite having such an advantage.

    Moreover if you want to focus on intelligence then you need to take a look at the Cachalot which has the largest brain, Orcas only have the second largest brain, while the Sea Otter is the most intelligent sea creature due to its hand like paws and use of tools.

    All men have an inherent right to life, the right to self determination including freedom from forced or compulsory labour, a right to hold opinions and the freedom of expression, and the right to a fair trial and freedom from torture. Be aware that these rights are universal and inalienable (cannot be given, taken or otherwise transferred or removed) although you do risk losing the aforementioned rights should you fail to uphold them e.g Charles Taylor; United Nations sources: http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/, http://www.ohchr.org/EN/Professional...ages/CCPR.aspx. Also Charles I was beheaded on the 30th of January of 1649 for trying to replace parliamentary democracy with an absolute monarchy, the same should happen to Dr Phil and Stephen Fry; source: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...ute-Monarchism.
